rumbustious
Noisily high-spirited
Rumbustious means boisterous, unruly, or noisily energetic.
The word describes rowdy behavior or high-spirited commotion: a rumbustious crowd at the pub, rumbustious children running through the house.
Primarily British, it carries a tone of cheerful chaos rather than genuine menace.
The American equivalent is usually rambunctious.
